In the dead of night, the hospital lobby was empty and cold. Kisa leaned against the cold wall, staring blankly at the emergency room doors in front of her. The light was on inside, and Gilbert had been wheeled in for a while. She clenched her hands, panicking. Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps and the sound of a cane striking the floor. Her body stiffened, and she slowly turned her head and saw Madalyn, helped by Kelvin, walking toward her anxiously and angrily.SLAP!Madalyn threw a slap across her face without mercy.But Kisa did not feel the pain, her body seeming to be numb; there was no sensation just that her eyes were red.Madalyn still wanted to hit her, but Kelvin grabbed her hand and said, "Mrs. Kooper Sr., don't do that. Let's wait for the doctor to come out."Madalyn's grief was so great that even though Kelvin gripped her hand, she still swung her cane to hit Kisa with the other."You vermin, why don't you just die?" Madalyn hissed at her, her mournful cry ech
Jensen's hand on his side stiffened a little.Her love for that man was stronger than her hatred.Mrs. Kooper Sr. spat, "You better remember what you've just said! Also, if my grandson is hale and hearty, you better stay away from him. You're an ill omen. Woe be upon whoever gets close to you!"As soon as Mrs. Kooper Sr. said that, the ER door opened.Kisa's heart trembled as she hurried toward the open door.As the doctor walked out, Gilbert, too was pushed out.Gilbert's face was a little pale, and he looked very weak.Kelvin immediately stepped forward to ask the doctor about Gilbert's condition.The doctor smiled and said, "He's not in any danger, but the scratches were quite deep, and he lost a lot of blood. So, he needs to rest and recuperate for a while."When she heard this, Kisa heaved a sigh of relief.Her strength seemed to have been suddenly sapped away as she tumbled to the side.Jensen was quick on the uptake and immediately held her.With Jensen's help, Kisa
What she saw was a screen full of missed calls.There were Kelvin's number, an unknown person's number, and Gilbert's number.Gilbert's number had the most missed calls, about a dozen of them.She bit her lips and hesitated for a moment before calling Gilbert's number."You're finally willing to answer the phone?"'Kelvin's voice?'Kisa said calmly, "I was filming earlier and couldn't check my phone.""Fine then. Come over, now."Kelvin's voice sounded a little anxious.Kisa panicked and asked, "What happened? Is Gilbert not well? Didn't the doctor say he's not in danger?""Just come, and you'll know. Hurry."Kelvin hung up after saying that.Kisa was anxious, and without any delay, she immediately headed for Kelvin's villa after she was out from the set.There were no servants in Kelvin's villa, and it was very quiet.Kisa parked the car and walked straight into the villa.Gracie had just stepped out of the kitchen and was surprised when she saw Kisa, "Eh, Kisa, why are
Kisa tensed up and immediately pulled her hand away. "Let me go! Let me go!"From her reaction, it looked like the woman was still resistant to him touching her.He suddenly recalled what Mrs. Kooper Sr. said, and his eyes immediately dimmed.He then let her go and turned to the window, his voice cold and distant. "Go then."Kisa bit her lips and could not help but ask, "Are... your wounds alright?""I won't die."The man's voice was cold, and so was his face.Kisa did not know what to say.She then looked down and said, "Rest well then."As she said that, she glanced at him and turned to leave.This time, Gilbert did not hold onto her.The man did not even make a single sound when she closed the door and left.After closing the door, Kisa stood outside for a moment before turning around and walking downstairs.It was Kelvin who called her, not Gilbert.Last night, it was all because of her selfishness and resentment that she almost got him killed.So, the man should be
Kisa immediately ran to the front of the guest room.As Kisa hurried, she ended up panting hard when she arrived at the door.It took her a while to catch her breath before she reached for the doorknob.The door opened after a soft clack.Just as Kisa opened the door and walked in, the man's cold, icy voice rang out, "Get out!"Kisa did not say anything and just stood quietly by the door.His back was still facing the door, so he thought the person who entered the room was Kelvin.She only heard him say, rather brashly, "Don't disturb me for nothing. And don't you use my phone to call that woman again. Hah, bluffing her to come here is pointless if she doesn't want to see me."At the very end, there was a self-mocking tone in his voice.Kisa bit her lips, and just like what Gracie said, he really thought that it was her who did not want to see him.Her fingers uneasily twitched as she took a deep breath and walked toward him."I don't want you to disturb me!"Hearing footst
Kisa's arm was struck away, and the porridge in the spoon spilled all over the floor. Kisa's body staggered sideways, and she almost fell down from the chair.Fortunately, she held the porridge bowl tight, or else it would have splashed all over the floor.Noticing that he had overreacted, Gilbert said with an awkward tone, "I told you. I don't want to force you to take care of me, you...""Did I ever say you were forcing me?" Kisa looked at him with reddened eyes. "I just want to take good care of you. It's not because you saved me, but I was worried about you, to begin with. You think I wasn't anxious when you got knocked down by the car yesterday?""I was crying hard outside the ER, and Jensen was the one consoling me.""I told him, I want to forget all of the hatred and grievances of the past. I want to be with you."Gilbert shuddered as his dark eyes looked at her deeply."You told him that you want to be with me?"Gilbert found it hard to believe it as the surge of joy an
The door was not locked, and the ones entering the room were Kelvin and Gracie."Sure enough, a different person bringing the porridge has a totally different outcome."Looking at the empty bowl in Gilbert's hand, Kelvin teased with a smile.Gracie, too let out a forced smile.Gilbert grunted and said, "I just happened to be hungry."Knowing how arrogant Gilbert could be, Kelvin eventually stopped teasing him.Kelvin then went into business mode, "I've checked your wounds, and they're all just flesh wounds. Changing your wound dressing daily will do the work. So, you and Kisa can stay here for the next few days while Gracie and I go somewhere else and not disturb you guys.""No need, really," Kisa immediately waved him off. "This is your home. How can we stay here just like that? Also, I have filming tomorrow and cannot take care of him.""What? Can't you take a few days off? Is your filming more important than Gilbert?"Kelvin suddenly let out a tirade in displeasure as Kisa
Kisa's face reddened, and she pushed him away, "Someone's here. I'll go have a look."Gilbert gritted his teeth, feeling a little miffed.'Bummer, I almost managed to kiss her."As she was afraid that the person coming could be Mrs. Kooper Sr., Kisa did not go down and only peeked through the window.And through it, she saw Mrs. Kooper Sr. alighting from the car with Davian escorting her.After the two got out of the car, Davian helped Mrs. Kooper Sr. into the house.Kisa immediately turned and told Gilbert, "It's Grandma. I'll go hide for a bit."As she said that, she walked to the bathroom.Gilbert immediately grabbed onto her, "No need, stay here.""But Grandma...""I'm here and won't allow her to hurt you. Also, you can't keep avoiding her like this. I don't want you to be wronged."His words made her feel warm inside.She patted his hands and smiled, "I'm not, but Grandma probably still has quite a lot of misunderstandings with me, and those won't be untangled within a
